The world is in Lambeth

Our borough is many things to many different communities. Everyone is welcome to build a life here. But health and fitness opportunities are not always shared equally. Lambeth has always had a unique energy, a sense of potential – and has been at the forefront of social justice movements. Now we want to capture that energy to get everybody, in every community, to move more and lead healthier lives.

We have a bold vision

For the scheme launch we have identified six areas which would benefit most from support. As the initiative develops we're looking doe partners to support other areas of the borough.

Our six
